Hello, I'm Amanda Mackenzie,

Why choose me?
As a national speaker, I have shared practical approaches to embedding emotional literacy in classrooms, helping educators create learning environments where children feel safe, valued and ready to learn.
As an author, I have developed children's stories and practical activities that encourage creativity while building the vocabulary, confidence and language needed for effective writing.
I believe that children flourish when they are encouraged, understood and given the tools to believe in themselves.
That belief inspired me to create The Learning Process Coach.
My coaching combines educational leadership, specialist ASN expertise, emotional literacy, life coaching and practical strategies to help children, families and schools develop confidence, resilience and a lifelong love of learning.
My Philosophy
Every child deserves to feel:
• Safe to learn
• Confident to try
• Resilient when things are difficult
• Proud of who they are
• Inspired to achieve their potential
Amanda's Approach
At the heart of Amanda’s approach as The Learning Process Coach is one powerful idea:
children can learn how to learn- and when they do, they grow in confidence, self-awareness, and resilience for life.
Through playful conversation, storytelling, reflection, and gentle NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) techniques, Amanda helps children understand their learning process in a way that’s fun, friendly, and meaningful.
By using simple language and relatable tools, children begin to understand that their brains can grow and change- just like bubblegum! And when things feel tricky, they’re encouraged to say: I can’t do it yet.”
